Attendees

Announcements

It's time to put together the M6 New and Noteworthy. The webtools/development/news/2.0M6 folder has been populated by starter files. Committers should begin their writeups or alternately attachments can be made to 179645. Remember, we want this ready when we declare M6.

WTP 1.5.4

04/19 - RC1 released. PMC will only approve stop-ship bugs during the last two weeks

05/04 - 1.5.4 declared

Build Status

No declared M Build this week.

Failing JUnits

There should never be failing JUnits in any M Build!

org.eclipse.wst.css.tests.encoding - Some build changes may have caused a regression, David is investigating.

Reminder:

If you are up against a deadline, you may release a bug fix which is tentatively approved, given you are comfortable with backing it out if need be. Otherwise, PMC will do their best to stay current with bug review requests.

WTP 2.0

Ensure all plugin manifests have execution environments specified - David to open bugzilla, each component needs to do this for M6.

Lump JSF and JPA into the WTP SDK and Runtime zips on download page

Update feature version numbers for WST and JST to 2.0, JPA and JSF 1.0

Move WS bundles to orbit - Pushed back to RC0 to mitigate risks to M6 stability

Build Status

Please smoke test and update wiki to declare weekly I Build by end of day.

Seems to be a problem with unzipping due to long file names and duplicate source files. Tim D to open a bug.

JUnits - Failures?

J2EE - Dropping a fix for later today which should resolve the issues

org.eclipse.jst.ws.tests.unittest.AllWSJUnitTests - David will back out change to common logging which hopefully resolves issues

org.eclipse.wst.common.frameworks.tests.bvt.AutomatedBVT - Peter M is dropping a fix later today to resolve test.

Stay tuned for a suggested generic WTP project level compiler setting to add to every project

Copyright Tools - Let's plan to run the eclipse copyright tool to ensure all files have a proper copyright before we declare M6.

Amy - There are two versions of the tool, regular and advanced. The regular only works with the IBM copyright, so if you want to use a different copyright you need to use advanced. It did a good job of ignoring files which already had copyrights.

This work will be deferred to RC0.

Axis - Any update on legal approval - No, Axis 1.4 is making headway, but David to follow up and ensure Axis2 is given priority.

Adopter Breakages

Recently we have had a number of breaking changes going in. Please remember to run the adopter scan when you make any possibly breaking changes.

The adopter usage scans are updated to show more meanigful results and will soon be run for every build to give more immediate feedback.

All Open WTP Bugs with Patches Attached (~202) J2EE=52,SSE=28,WS=21,WSDL=18 If a patch is invalid, mark it obsolete, and we will filter those out. We will take this as a to do in the upcoming weeks as we shut down 2.0.

Working Groups

Runtime support for JEE5 modules - If we have a JEE5 module (Web 2.5/EJB3/EAR) we should be able to run it on servers (Tomcat/Geronimo/Glassfish). Having the server adapters ready to support these modules will also be important, especially for EJB3 and EAR5.

JEE 5 Model extensibility - This issue has been addressed by Chuck.

Editing and Tools support: I do not believe our editors(and tools like wizards etc.) will be ready to have full JEE5 support by 2.0.

Axis2

Kathy - No update.

Website

Bob F - No update.

Other business?

Prerequisite Update Rhythm

Update to previous week's I build on Mondays for platform, EMF, and GEF (if available). Update DTP on milestones or by request.

Any committer can also request the prereqs be updated at any additional time.

WTP 1.5.4 is a service release for critical defects, regressions, and adopter issues only. There should be no translation or UI changes, nor should it affect any API reported through the adopter scanning tools.
